Premier and Party.
AN EXCITING TRIP,
AUCKLAND, February 20
The Premier and party had an exciting trip white motoring from Rotorua to Matamata. In the middle of the bush road behind Mamiku a large tree which had been burnt in the bush fires lay right across the track, and the motor was pulled up within a couple of feet of the obstacle. Later, near Putururu, the motor was goinground a curve, and came right upon a mass of flames sweeping right across the road. A hasty retreat brought the party to a nlace of safety. The journey was resumed after the fire'had burned across the road.
